§ 25. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the importation so far this year, and for the same period last year, of all articles of apparel in the manufacture of which elastic thread has been used?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)I regret that the desired information is not available.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSIs it possible to obtain it in the future, in view of the particular kind of competition that is involved?
§ Dr. BURGINI will make inquiries, but I do not think there is any heading under which articles of apparel using elastic thread would be separately recorded.
